Questions
What is the percentage uvb this bulb gives off? Also what is the estimated drop in efficiency by mounting on a screen and does the included clear plastic bulb cover affect this?
- Hi there! We don't provide percentages. The clear lens is UV admitting and blocks less than 10 percent. It does increase the blocking with age, though. The amount blocked by a screen will vary with the density of the screen. Generally, it is 10-30 percent depending on the size of the mesh (smaller mesh blocks more). If you'd like to chat about this further, feel welcome to give us a call at 1-888-255-4527.

Would this work for leopard geckos?
- leopard geckos don’t necessarily need uvb, but as always there are certain benefits to having a uvb on them. in my opinion this is the best uvb bulb to purchase! hope this helps!

Would this work for a Chinese Water Dragon, they need UVB and UVA?
- This would be great for a Chinese Water Dragon!

How long should this bulb last? Mine just burnt out.

Does this bulb provide heat? If so, how much?
- No, this would be strictly a UVB lamp for tropical reptiles. You would need a separate lamp or device for heating.

i need a bulb that dose uvb and uva
- Thank you for your question animalhouse1. For a long tailed grass lizard I would recommend the Tropical 25. This light provides a full dosage of UVB (25 microwatts per second/cm2) along with essential UVA light. As a bonus, Tropical 25’s full-spectrum visible light output helps bring out subtle colors in a reptile’s skin that makes everyday viewing more dramatic.

I have a 30" Zoo Med Slider Reptile Hood, but the florescent bulb is 24".
- Thank you for your question. You would need to get a bulb that would be the same bulb size as what you currently have. If you are looking for a replacement bulb to replace the 24" size bulb you have, we would recommend that you use another 24" size bulb. tmb

wht kind of uv do i need for a 20 gallons tank?
- Thank you for your question canelita. Most likely you would want the Tropical 25, but it would depend on the type of turtle your neighbor gave to you. Red-Eared Sliders, Red Foot Tortoises and Eastern Box Turtles all require Tropical 25. Sulcata Tortoises, Leopard Tortoises and Russian Tortoises all require Desert 50.

I have the Zilla fixture with the built in timer. The flourescent bulb is 27" and the fixture is 30". I ordered the 24" ones and they were too small.
- Thank you for your question. Our item #33205 30” 18W T5 should work for this fixture. Here's a link to the page: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18318

I have a 20 gallon tank for my bearded dragon and I just need to know how many watts of UVB do I need
Hi there. So I am looking into getting a heat dome for my crested gecko. I know they don’t have to have a heat lam but I want him to have a UVB bulb Because it’s good for them. But I am not quite sure that type to get. Any suggestions? I was looking at petco’s tropical combo pack. He lives in a 10 g. With live plant. (I will upgrade when he is bigger) also do you know an age on him? I got him 3 months ago from petsmart. I could tell he was a male a week after I got him. (Pic from yesterday)
Hes hanging out closer to the bottom and hes also lays down with all his legs out but 1. I'm thinking MBD but hes in a screen enclosure, 2 uvb 5.0 bulbs. 1 heat. Crickets always get dusted. He gets plenty of water, and horned worms, plus super worms. Idk what do to I dont want to lose him. I use a multi vitamin aswell.
My turtle shell has some brown spots and some of he corners of his scutes are brown and peeling. His lines on his shell are also brown. He does have a uvb and heat lamp.
Since full spectrum growl lights for plants are supposed to mimic natural sunlight (is that correct?) then can I use that for my green anole lizard glass cage and save all that cost for a uvb light? I also have a heating pad for my back I could put under it if need be...?
If my juvenile slider turtle tank is next to a window, is UBV lighting nessesarry? (This is a wild turtle). And if it is a must, how long can they go without a UBV? (I'm am sending pics so you can see how far the tank is from the window, if you need it)
I was wondering if there are any alternatives for my pet rabbit to get sunlight or UV light without bringing her outside. I want to make sure she gets an sufficient amount of vitamin D even if it is artificial UV light. I'm just concerned of the chance my rabbit is vitamin D deficient and was interested if I should invest in a UVB light bulb for her to compensate for her lack of sunlight.
My RES is not eating. I tried plants, in case she is a vegetarian, and shrimp but nothing works she basks a lot under her lamp, but it is not a UVB light. I am getting it in a week. She has a companion. Leonardo. The water temp is at least 75 and she she seems comfortable. Her shell seems as if she has something dry white on her shell but it is barely noticeable in water.
I have a turtle I got as a hatchling whose shell has started to curve. I’ve read this could be due to too much protein, too weak of uv/uvb lights, or a combination that makes him grow too fast for the shell to keep up. I’m going to the pet supply store to get a new bulb tomorrow and he eats feeder fish as well as a variety (gold fish food he steals, dry meal worms, pellets from two different brands) of dry foods. How can I help him better?
My red eared slider is not basking even though I brought a uvb light for her just like one of the pet coach vets told me because he has soft shell.I place the light on top of a Zilla screen cover but she still don't get on.I can't really dry dock her because I have a hood for my uvb light.How can I make her to bask and is the Zilla cover okay for her?
What should I feed my red ear slider with shell pyramiding and how often?Also which heat lamp would you recommend?Picture 1 or 2?How many watts should I get for the heat lamp?
How much greens should I feed my red eared slider with pyramiding and soft shell at a time.Should I feed both pellets and greens together in a day?Which heat lamp brand do you recommend and how many watts should I buy if the lamp is 21 cm away from the dock?
